Political Quotes

“for 16 years I have had a woman working for me who has been outstanding. She has worked in my press department for the last 8 years. She has been my chief of staff. Her name is Susan McCue. She has a wonderful background. She is one of 10 children. She put herself through college working as a waitress, among other things. She is a graduate of Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree. Some people are born with the ability to jump high and throw balls a long ways, and some people go to the finest business schools in the country to learn how to manage people. Susan has an innate ability, as if she were a skilled athlete, a skill to be an administrator. What she did to develop my staff is something that I am sure someday will be used as a ``how you should hire a staff in Washington, DC.'' I have such great affection for Susan. She has worked so hard for me. She has decided to leave after 16 years to go downtown and work, seeking not a job where she can make a lot of money but working in a program that will deal with poor people around the world. She will make just a little bit more money than she is being paid right here. But being the person she is, a kind, thoughtful, considerate person, she thought it was time for a change. As hard as it is for me to let someone go who has done such a wonderful job for me, I must be as loyal and dedicated to her as she has been to me.”
